The 34th Asian Security Summit held in Bangkok last weekend, once again reflected the unity of the Asian safe country, and achieved consensus on major topics.As the United States and China have become increasingly fierce in the United States and China in this region, the summit has passed and published and published the ASEAN OUTLOOK on the Indo-PACIFIC document, which has attracted more attention.
This is the first time that Ya'an collectively shows its position on the India -Pacific initiative led by the United States, and at the same time expressed its own views on how the region should develop.The promulgation of this document is more important to get back the dominance of Ya'an in regional affairs and re -establish the central position of Yaiman.
In recent years, the India -Pacific strategy proposed by the United States has replaced its old Asia -Pacific strategy, incorporating India, Japan and Australia into it in order to contain and curb China's rise and expansion of forces.Although the Asianan country is concerned about the strongness of the Chinese country, it is not in the same way for the Indo -Pacific strategy, because Southeast Asian countries are unwilling to choose the side station in the United States and China.
But how to respond to the new situation brought by the fierce game of the two major powers in this region, the Asianan countries seem to be unable to reach a consensus.This will inevitably make the international community feel ambiguous and cannot play its due role in regional affairs.In particular, Ya'an also faces the danger that may be differentiated.Some countries have highly relying on China in terms of geopolitics.
The leaders of all countries in Asia should eventually realize that the continuity of this ambiguous state is greatly harmful to the image and unity of Asia's fineness.It is obvious that the willingness to choose the side station is obviously not enough to be involved in the vortex of the battle.The key is what to do so that it has not been passive, and avoid the development of the development of the core interests involving its core interests?
In this case, this summit finally passed the Indo -Pacific outlook promoted by Indonesia, showing a common standpoint and proposing a common view, which is undoubtedly an important breakthrough.At least, the international community can clearly know what the overall position of Ya'an is.Of course, this stage is also a talker on paper, but it is undoubtedly a necessary way to further formulate a specific action plan.
The Indo -Pacific Outlook covers four key points: First, regarding the Asia -Pacific and Indian Ocean areas are closely linked areas, and Asianian plays the role of the center and strategic role; second, the Indo -Pacific region is a dialogue and cooperation, not a region against competition;Third, the Indo -Pacific region should become a region for common development and prosperity; 4. In the evolution of regional structure, the maritime field is an important part.
This document will become a pointer for cooperation in the Indo -Pacific region, which will help create a peaceful and stable environment and maintain a regional architecture based on rules.Based on this, Asianan will try to strengthen cooperation in various aspects such as maritime affairs and connectivity to promote economic and trade cooperation and establish mutual trust.In addition, Asianan will also be committed to strengthening its existing cooperation mechanisms led by Asianan, such as the East Asian Summit, and discuss the possibility of cooperating with other regional mechanisms.
It can be said that the vision of the Indo -Pacific region described by Yajia'an is very different from the Indo -Pacific strategy dominated by the United States.The United States has its own strategic goal, and China has the Chinese dream it wants to achieve. The small country that is sandwiched in the middle may not be able to change the intention of a large country.Large initiative.Only by doing so can Ya'an strengthen the resistance of the vortex of the battle for the great power.
The Asian Seal Prospects is an important declaration. Whether it can eventually produce a expected role, and watching whether the member states can consolidate a common strategic perspective and take a word; and stabilize the driving diskThe plans that help to maintain regional neutrality, peace and stability can be transformed into practical actions and exerted practical effects.
